Bed Sheets & Departure Lounges, London Launch

So after going up and down the Caribbean promoting Tales of Bed Sheets and Departure Lounges it’s finally time to have a London launch. Conveniently, the wonderful people at Dog Horn arranged to have the event at the beautiful Victoria Library.

Hosted by the super sharp Alexa Ratcliffe-Hart, who of course was also the editor of Tales of Bed Sheets and worked closely with me on the texts of the collection, we had a double launch together with Aliya Whiteley, whose tantalising reading of her new novel Skein Island was intriguing, stimulating, just perfect for the occasion.

Here’s a little selection of photos of the evening, taken by the wonderful Laura Montanari:

 

Aliya read first, we followed enthralled.

In full swing.

Not sure they’re buying into my spiel.

That’s never stopped me before, though.
